CCL/CHPQA Management Service

The Climate Change Levy (CCL) is an energy tax to encourage business users to become more energy efficient, and to reduce their carbon dioxide emissions. CCL is applied at the time of supply and is charged only on the energy used. CCL applies to electricity, gas, liquid petroleum and solid fuels. However, exemptions for employing Combined Heat and Power (CHP) may be applicable.

What is Combined Heat and Power?

Combined Heat and Power, also known as cogeneration or CHP, is an extremely efficient process that harnesses the heat that is produced when energy is generated. By generating heat and power together, carbon emissions can be reduced by up to 30% by replacing heat that would otherwise be normally supplied by boilers.

For the majority of businesses, using CHP is one of the best ways to improve energy efficiency and reduce energy costs, with existing users generally saving around 20% on their energy bills.

CHP schemes that are fully or partially certified as “Good Quality CHP” under the Combined Heat and Power Quality Assurance (CHPQA) programme and have obtained a Secretary of State (CHP) Exemption Certificate are exempt from the rates of CCL on the fuel they utilise.
